Imagine living on an low lying atoll and worrying whether the next high tide will destroy your home?
Or being unable to prepare for your future, engage in business or invest in your country because there may not be a tomorrow.?
Well these are the realities people of Kiribati face everyday.
TalkBusiness catches up with the man who tries to put these fears to rest for his people, fighting an uphill battle against climate change and those responsible for his sinking islands.

Climate change and rising sea levels mean the island nation of Kiribati in the South Pacific is at risk of disappearing into the sea.
But the island’s inhabitants aren’t giving up. They are doing what they can to save their island from inundation. Can COP23 help make a difference?
UN estimates indicate that Kiribati could disappear in just 30 or 40 years. That’s because the average elevation is less than two meters above sea level. And some of the knock-on effects of climate change have made the situation more difficult. Kiribati can hardly be surpassed in terms of charm and natural beauty. There are 33 atolls and one reef island – spread out over an area of 3.5 million square kilometers. All have white, sandy beaches and blue lagoons. Kiribati is the world’s largest state that consists exclusively of atolls. A local resident named Kaboua points to the empty, barren land around him and says, "There used to be a large village here with 70 families." But these days, this land is only accessible at low tide. At high tide, it's all under water. Kaboua says that sea levels are rising all the time, and swallowing up the land. That’s why many people here build walls made of stone and driftwood, or sand or rubbish. But these barriers won't stand up to the increasing number of storm surges. Others are trying to protect against coastal erosion by planting mangrove shrubs or small trees. But another local resident, Vasiti Tebamare, remains optimistic. She works for KiriCAN, an environmental organization. Vasiti says: "The industrialized countries -- the United States, China, and Europe -- use fossil fuels for their own ends. But what about us?" Kiribati's government has even bought land on an island in Fiji, so it can evacuate its people in an emergency. But Vasiti and most of the other residents don't want to leave.

What comes to your mind when you think about some of the healthiest ingredients? Sea cucumber would likely be on the list for Chinese people. Sea cucumber is a kind of echinoderm, and 21 out of 61 types of the world's edible sea cucumbers can be found in China. Demand is high in China for the creature as it's high in protein and various vitamins. But one of its unique challenges is if not processed in six hours after being captured, it will melt. The fishermen have to dry or salinize it in order to store it for processing.
Wang Xiaoqin, who owns nearly 400 stores in China, is the biggest single-product seller of sea cucumber in the country. Her success comes from her innovative marketing strategy. Wang always puts customers' experience first, regularly holding activities and inviting them to her store and factory. Preparing sea cucumber is a lengthy and complicated process, which takes several days and plenty of steps. She noticed that customers had difficulty soaking the sea creature and many didn't have a freezer, causing the loss of nutritious elements. So she decided to offer free service of preparing sea cucumbers.

The UN hopes to combat world hunger and poverty by 2030. But more than 800 million people still suffer chronic undernutrition - a quarter of them in Africa.
Hunger is one of the most common reasons why people flee their homelands. Politicians repeatedly say that the causes behind so many people leaving Africa for Europe have to be addressed. Can the development aid work performed by private companies bring about the desired change? The United Nations has set itself ambitious goals: eradicating poverty and hunger around the world by 2030. To achieve this, state development agencies are increasingly joining forces with the private sector. Governments claim that public funds are in limited supply, and that additional investment from businesses is necessary in order to achieve leverage effects. The use of entrepreneurial know-how creates a win-win situation for everyone involved, insist the proponents of public-private collaboration in the aid sector. Critics, however, say that getting private companies involved in development aid was merely a way of promoting foreign trade and has not benefited the hungry. This documentary analyses the political background behind public-private partnerships in development aid. It looks at seven different models of collaboration in the food and agricultural sector in Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania: from the attempt launched by German companies to increase the productivity of Kenyan potato farmers, to the investment fund that uses development aid money to create returns for investors in Germany via huge soy and maize plantations. The result of in-depth research, the film reveals the abuse of state development aid money by the private sector, and highlights the fundamental conflict between industrial and small-scale farming. Is collaboration in development aid between private enterprise and the state possible in a way that genuinely benefits local populations?

The Pacific island nation of Kiribati is leading efforts to establish a regional employment hub for technical and vocational employment opportunities in the region.
The initiative, which is in line with Kiribati's "migration with dignity" policy for climate change, is aimed to address employment issues in Kiribati and other Pacific island countries.
The country led initiative was introduced during the SmallerIslandsStatesLeaders Meeting prior to the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders meeting in the Marshall Islands in early September.
In speaking to the media, PresidentTong says Kiribati has a huge population with a large proportion of young people, so unemployment is a big problem.
The President expressed that Kiribati has to be realistic as the country does not have the economic base to be able to employ everyone, but over the years, the government has been looking for access to the international labor market.
Such as the Australia-Pacific Technical College, which started in 2005, he says arming his people with skills goes along with the "migration with dignity" policy "because you get people skilled you won't need to find somewhere for them to go, they will find themselves a place to go, because they will be marketable."
He says he always regarded that as part of the climate change solution.
"It's a painless way and it's mutually beneficial", says the President.

Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. The capital and now most populated area, South Tarawa, consists of a number of islets, connected by a series of causeways. These comprise about half the area of Tarawa Atoll.

Gilbertese language

Name

The word Kiribati is the modern rendition for "Gilberts", so the name is not usually translated into English. "Gilberts" comes from Captain Thomas Gilbert, who, along with Captain John Marshall, was one of the first Europeans to visit the Gilbert Islands in 1788. Some of the islands had been sighted or visited earlier, including by Commodore John Byron, whose ships happened on Nikunau in 1765. Frequenting of the islands by Europeans and Chinese dates from whaling and oil trading from the 1820s, when no doubt Europeans learnt to speak it, as I-Kiribati learnt to speak English and other languages foreign to them. However, it wasn't until Hiram Bingham II took up missionary work on Abaiang in the 1860s that the language began to take on the written form known today. For example, Bingham was the first to translate the Bible into Gilbertese, and wrote several hymn books, dictionaries and commentaries in the language of the Gilbert Islands.

Pacific Islands

The "Pacific Islands" is a term broadly referring to the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Depending on the context, it may refer to countries and islands with common Austronesian origins, islands once or currently colonized, or Oceania.

Name ambiguity

In English, the umbrella term Pacific Islands may take on several meanings. Sometimes it refers to only those islands covered by the geopolitical concept of Oceania. In some common uses, the term "Pacific Island" refers to the islands of the Pacific Ocean once colonized by the British, French, Dutch, United States, and Japanese, such as the Pitcairn Islands, Taiwan, and Borneo. In other uses it may refer to islands with Austronesian heritage like Taiwan, Indonesia, Micronesia, Polynesia, Myanmar islands, which found their genesis in the Neolithic cultures of the island of Taiwan. There are many other islands located within the boundaries of the Pacific Ocean that are not considered part of Oceania. These islands include the Galápagos Islands of Ecuador; the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, United States; Vancouver Island in Canada; the Russian islands of Sakhalin and Kuril Islands; the island nation of Taiwan and other islands of the Republic of China; the Philippines; islands in the South China Sea, which includes the disputed South China Sea Islands; most of the islands of Indonesia; and the island nation of Japan, which comprises the Japanese Archipelago.

Main Residency in Tarawa for the President of Kiribati : Feb & March 2013

Only a few min's walk from the BairikiSquare the business area in Tarawa, this is the residency of the President of Kiribati, while viewing the building from the road I get talking to the only local Taxi Driver & he also offers to take me to the Presidents weekend home, I'm not really sure if this is totally true, however I went along for the ride & relaxed in the area for a while taking to the taxi driver. Later I then returned back to Bairiki area,. I managed to re-visit the Presidents main home for a second occasion & filmed from outside, I got talking to a couple of the security guards & some guards were relaxed about filming the property while others were not so relaxed !!!! Using my camera appeared to be no problem.

Exciting new library books! I was fortunate to get the opportunity to access these hard-to-find Peace CorpsLanguage Handbooks for the Kiribati (Gilbertese) language.
Kiribati (pronounced Kiribahss) is a cute little island nation in the center of the Pacific Ocean comprised of atolls and a coral island. Their language is of the Nuclear Micronesian branch, and is VSO.
In this video I share about how I was able to loan these handbooks via the Interlibrary Loan of a local university. A reminder to anyone involved in an academic institution to really take advantage of the library access you have.
Usually I would put a link to buy these, but they really can't be purchased.
Instead, here is the website of the author Steven Trussel, who has the Grammar and Communication handbooks up to view online free

Sea cucumber is a kind of echinoderm, and 21 out of 61 types of the world's edible sea cucumbers can be found in China. Demand is high in China for the creature as it's high in protein and various vitamins. But one of its unique challenges is if not processed in six hours after being captured, it will melt. The fishermen have to dry or salinize it in order to store it for processing.
Wang Xiaoqin, who owns nearly 400 stores in China, is the biggest single-product seller of sea cucumber in the country. Her success comes from her innovative marketing strategy. Wang always puts customers' experience first, regularly holding activities and inviting the...

Poverty and profit - the business of development aid | DW Documentary

The UN hopes to combat world hunger and poverty by 2030. But more than 800 million people still suffer chronic undernutrition - a quarter of them in Africa.
Hunger is one of the most common reasons why people flee their homelands. Politicians repeatedly say that the causes behind so many people leaving Africa for Europe have to be addressed. Can the development aid work performed by private companies bring about the desired change? The United Nations has set itself ambitious goals: eradicating poverty and hunger around the world by 2030. To achieve this, state development agencies are increasingly joining forces with the private sector. Governments claim that public funds are in limited supply, and that additional investment from businesses is necessary in order to achieve leverage effec...

The Pacific island nation of Kiribati is leading efforts to establish a regional employment hub for technical and vocational employment opportunities in the region.

Main Residency in Tarawa for the President of Kiribati : Feb & March 2013

Only a few min's walk from the BairikiSquare the business area in Tarawa, this is the residency of the President of Kiribati, while viewing the building from the road I get talking to the only local Taxi Driver & he also offers to take me to the Presidents weekend home, I'm not really sure if this is totally true, however I went along for the ride & relaxed in the area for a while taking to the taxi driver. Later I then returned back to Bairiki area,. I managed to re-visit the Presidents main home for a second occasion & filmed from outside, I got talking to a couple of the security guards & some guards were relaxed about filming the property while others were not so relaxed !!!! Using my camera appeared to be no problem.

Exciting new library books! I was fortunate to get the opportunity to access these hard-to-find Peace CorpsLanguage Handbooks for the Kiribati (Gilbertese) language.
Kiribati (pronounced Kiribahss) is a cute little island nation in the center of the Pacific Ocean comprised of atolls and a coral island. Their language is of the Nuclear Micronesian branch, and is VSO.

Climate change and rising sea levels mean the island nation of Kiribati in the South Pacific is at risk of disappearing into the sea.
But the island’s inhabitants aren’t giving up. They are doing what they can to save their island from inundation. Can COP23 help make a difference?
UN estimates indicate that Kiribati could disappear in just 30 or 40 years. That’s because the average elevation is less than two meters above sea level. And some of the knock-on effects of climate change have made the situation more difficult. Kiribati can hardly be surpassed in terms of charm and natural beauty. There are 33 atolls and one reef island – spread out over an area of 3.5 million square kilometers. All have white, sandy beaches and blue lagoons. Kiribati is the world’s largest state that consists exclusively of atolls. A local resident named Kaboua points to the empty, barren land around him and says, "There used to be a large village here with 70 families." But these days, this land is only accessible at low tide. At high tide, it's all under water. Kaboua says that sea levels are rising all the time, and swallowing up the land. That’s why many people here build walls made of stone and driftwood, or sand or rubbish. But these barriers won't stand up to the increasing number of storm surges. Others are trying to protect against coastal erosion by planting mangrove shrubs or small trees. But another local resident, Vasiti Tebamare, remains optimistic. She works for KiriCAN, an environmental organization. Vasiti says: "The industrialized countries -- the United States, China, and Europe -- use fossil fuels for their own ends. But what about us?" Kiribati's government has even bought land on an island in Fiji, so it can evacuate its people in an emergency. But Vasiti and most of the other residents don't want to leave.

What comes to your mind when you think about some of the healthiest ingredients? Sea cucumber would likely be on the list for Chinese people. Sea cucumber is a kind of echinoderm, and 21 out of 61 types of the world's edible sea cucumbers can be found in China. Demand is high in China for the creature as it's high in protein and various vitamins. But one of its unique challenges is if not processed in six hours after being captured, it will melt. The fishermen have to dry or salinize it in order to store it for processing.
Wang Xiaoqin, who owns nearly 400 stores in China, is the biggest single-product seller of sea cucumber in the country. Her success comes from her innovative marketing strategy. Wang always puts customers' experience first, regularly holding activities and inviting them to her store and factory. Preparing sea cucumber is a lengthy and complicated process, which takes several days and plenty of steps. She noticed that customers had difficulty soaking the sea creature and many didn't have a freezer, causing the loss of nutritious elements. So she decided to offer free service of preparing sea cucumbers.

The UN hopes to combat world hunger and poverty by 2030. But more than 800 million people still suffer chronic undernutrition - a quarter of them in Africa.
Hunger is one of the most common reasons why people flee their homelands. Politicians repeatedly say that the causes behind so many people leaving Africa for Europe have to be addressed. Can the development aid work performed by private companies bring about the desired change? The United Nations has set itself ambitious goals: eradicating poverty and hunger around the world by 2030. To achieve this, state development agencies are increasingly joining forces with the private sector. Governments claim that public funds are in limited supply, and that additional investment from businesses is necessary in order to achieve leverage effects. The use of entrepreneurial know-how creates a win-win situation for everyone involved, insist the proponents of public-private collaboration in the aid sector. Critics, however, say that getting private companies involved in development aid was merely a way of promoting foreign trade and has not benefited the hungry. This documentary analyses the political background behind public-private partnerships in development aid. It looks at seven different models of collaboration in the food and agricultural sector in Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania: from the attempt launched by German companies to increase the productivity of Kenyan potato farmers, to the investment fund that uses development aid money to create returns for investors in Germany via huge soy and maize plantations. The result of in-depth research, the film reveals the abuse of state development aid money by the private sector, and highlights the fundamental conflict between industrial and small-scale farming. Is collaboration in development aid between private enterprise and the state possible in a way that genuinely benefits local populations?

The Pacific island nation of Kiribati is leading efforts to establish a regional employment hub for technical and vocational employment opportunities in the region.
The initiative, which is in line with Kiribati's "migration with dignity" policy for climate change, is aimed to address employment issues in Kiribati and other Pacific island countries.
The country led initiative was introduced during the SmallerIslandsStatesLeaders Meeting prior to the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders meeting in the Marshall Islands in early September.
In speaking to the media, PresidentTong says Kiribati has a huge population with a large proportion of young people, so unemployment is a big problem.
The President expressed that Kiribati has to be realistic as the country does not have the economic base to be able to employ everyone, but over the years, the government has been looking for access to the international labor market.
Such as the Australia-Pacific Technical College, which started in 2005, he says arming his people with skills goes along with the "migration with dignity" policy "because you get people skilled you won't need to find somewhere for them to go, they will find themselves a place to go, because they will be marketable."
He says he always regarded that as part of the climate change solution.
"It's a painless way and it's mutually beneficial", says the President.

Kiribati: a drowning paradise in the South Pacific | DW Documentary

Climate change and rising sea levels mean the island nation of Kiribati in the South Pacific is at risk of disappearing into the sea.
But the island’s inhabitants aren’t giving up. They are doing what they can to save their island from inundation. Can COP23 help make a difference?
UN estimates indicate that Kiribati could disappear in just 30 or 40 years. That’s because the average elevation is less than two meters above sea level. And some of the knock-on effects of climate change have made the situation more difficult. Kiribati can hardly be surpassed in terms of charm and natural beauty. There are 33 atolls and one reef island – spread out over an area of 3.5 million square kilometers. All have white, sandy beaches and blue lagoons. Kiribati is the world’s largest state that consists exclusively of atolls. A local resident named Kaboua points to the empty, barren land around him and says, "There used to be a large village here with 70 families." But these days, this land is only accessible at low tide. At high tide, it's all under water. Kaboua says that sea levels are rising all the time, and swallowing up the land. That’s why many people here build walls made of stone and driftwood, or sand or rubbish. But these barriers won't stand up to the increasing number of storm surges. Others are trying to protect against coastal erosion by planting mangrove shrubs or small trees. But another local resident, Vasiti Tebamare, remains optimistic. She works for KiriCAN, an environmental organization. Vasiti says: "The industrialized countries -- the United States, China, and Europe -- use fossil fuels for their own ends. But what about us?" Kiribati's government has even bought land on an island in Fiji, so it can evacuate its people in an emergency. But Vasiti and most of the other residents don't want to leave.

A Bite of Innovation: Thoughtful service booms sea cucumber business

What comes to your mind when you think about some of the healthiest ingredients? Sea cucumber would likely be on the list for Chinese people. Sea cucumber is a kind of echinoderm, and 21 out of 61 types of the world's edible sea cucumbers can be found in China. Demand is high in China for the creature as it's high in protein and various vitamins. But one of its unique challenges is if not processed in six hours after being captured, it will melt. The fishermen have to dry or salinize it in order to store it for processing.
Wang Xiaoqin, who owns nearly 400 stores in China, is the biggest single-product seller of sea cucumber in the country. Her success comes from her innovative marketing strategy. Wang always puts customers' experience first, regularly holding activities and inviting them to her store and factory. Preparing sea cucumber is a lengthy and complicated process, which takes several days and plenty of steps. She noticed that customers had difficulty soaking the sea creature and many didn't have a freezer, causing the loss of nutritious elements. So she decided to offer free service of preparing sea cucumbers.

Poverty and profit - the business of development aid | DW Documentary

The UN hopes to combat world hunger and poverty by 2030. But more than 800 million people still suffer chronic undernutrition - a quarter of them in Africa.
Hunger is one of the most common reasons why people flee their homelands. Politicians repeatedly say that the causes behind so many people leaving Africa for Europe have to be addressed. Can the development aid work performed by private companies bring about the desired change? The United Nations has set itself ambitious goals: eradicating poverty and hunger around the world by 2030. To achieve this, state development agencies are increasingly joining forces with the private sector. Governments claim that public funds are in limited supply, and that additional investment from businesses is necessary in order to achieve leverage effects. The use of entrepreneurial know-how creates a win-win situation for everyone involved, insist the proponents of public-private collaboration in the aid sector. Critics, however, say that getting private companies involved in development aid was merely a way of promoting foreign trade and has not benefited the hungry. This documentary analyses the political background behind public-private partnerships in development aid. It looks at seven different models of collaboration in the food and agricultural sector in Kenya, Zambia and Tanzania: from the attempt launched by German companies to increase the productivity of Kenyan potato farmers, to the investment fund that uses development aid money to create returns for investors in Germany via huge soy and maize plantations. The result of in-depth research, the film reveals the abuse of state development aid money by the private sector, and highlights the fundamental conflict between industrial and small-scale farming. Is collaboration in development aid between private enterprise and the state possible in a way that genuinely benefits local populations?

Kiribati Proposes Regional Employment Hub For The Pacific

The Pacific island nation of Kiribati is leading efforts to establish a regional employment hub for technical and vocational employment opportunities in the region.
The initiative, which is in line with Kiribati's "migration with dignity" policy for climate change, is aimed to address employment issues in Kiribati and other Pacific island countries.
The country led initiative was introduced during the SmallerIslandsStatesLeaders Meeting prior to the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders meeting in the Marshall Islands in early September.
In speaking to the media, PresidentTong says Kiribati has a huge population with a large proportion of young people, so unemployment is a big problem.
The President expressed that Kiribati has to be realistic as the country does not have the economic base to be able to employ everyone, but over the years, the government has been looking for access to the international labor market.
Such as the Australia-Pacific Technical College, which started in 2005, he says arming his people with skills goes along with the "migration with dignity" policy "because you get people skilled you won't need to find somewhere for them to go, they will find themselves a place to go, because they will be marketable."
He says he always regarded that as part of the climate change solution.
"It's a painless way and it's mutually beneficial", says the President.

Main Residency in Tarawa for the President of Kiribati : Feb & March 2013

Only a few min's walk from the BairikiSquare the business area in Tarawa, this is the residency of the President of Kiribati, while viewing the building from the road I get talking to the only local Taxi Driver & he also offers to take me to the Presidents weekend home, I'm not really sure if this is totally true, however I went along for the ride & relaxed in the area for a while taking to the taxi driver. Later I then returned back to Bairiki area,. I managed to re-visit the Presidents main home for a second occasion & filmed from outside, I got talking to a couple of the security guards & some guards were relaxed about filming the property while others were not so relaxed !!!! Using my camera appeared to be no problem.

Exciting new library books! I was fortunate to get the opportunity to access these hard-to-find Peace CorpsLanguage Handbooks for the Kiribati (Gilbertese) language.
Kiribati (pronounced Kiribahss) is a cute little island nation in the center of the Pacific Ocean comprised of atolls and a coral island. Their language is of the Nuclear Micronesian branch, and is VSO.
In this video I share about how I was able to loan these handbooks via the Interlibrary Loan of a local university. A reminder to anyone involved in an academic institution to really take advantage of the library access you have.
Usually I would put a link to buy these, but they really can't be purchased.
Instead, here is the website of the author Steven Trussel, who has the Grammar and Communication handbooks up to view online free

Shout out and thank you to Steven Trussel for his work with Kiribati and for the insight over email! :)

Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. The capital and now most populated area, South Tarawa, consists of a number of islets, connected by a series of causeways. These comprise about half the area of Tarawa Atoll.
